The management at Portland, OR's PGE Park baseball stadium are frothing at the chops because the Personal Telco community wireless project have set up a free WiFi node that provides connectivity in the park.
"This is our stadium, and we run the communications for it," said Chris Metz, a PGE Park spokesman.
Last week, Kimball's business, Moonlight Staffing, began wirelessly transmitting high-speed Internet access from its office across the street from the home field of the Portland Beavers baseball team. At any given time, as many as about 60 people with laptops equipped for WiFi can surf the Web.
Metz said he worries Personal Telco's news release late last week — entitled "PGE Park gets free Wi-Fi thanks to Personal Telco and Moonlight Staffing" — implied the park management helped market the service…
"Their service might be the greatest thing since sliced bread. That's beyond the point," Metz said. "I just don't like the way it's been portrayed in the press release without our consent."
